My son was born after 27 weeks of gestation, although he is developing well & has no issues with his development, he has a gross motor delay. Has someone out there some experience on how long does an extreme premature baby takes to catch up with the other babies?

Yes he came early. Below are the answers to the questions. Let me know if you need more details

What was the mode of delivery normal or cesarean section? ......... **normal**

What was the cause of preterm delivery? ......... some infection

Your baby is a boy or girl? ...................... boy

Is it your first baby? .................... Yes

Birth weight? ............... 900gm

Did your baby cry after birth? ................ I don't remember

Where was the baby born, in a hospital or home? ................ in hospital

For how many days was the baby admitted to neonatal care/nursery after birth? ......... two and a half months

Current age? ....... real age is 15 months and corrected age is 12 months

Current weight .......... he is around 8 kilos.

Current milestones? ........ He mimics, rolles over, makes different sounds (mama, baba, dada, koko etc..), sits without support, transfer an object from one hand to an other, pushes up on arms when on tummy, he claps, opens and closes hands, play with fingers,use the pincers grasp, responds to his name. lifts arms to signal pick me up.

Your baby's milestones are good! According to the milestones his age lies some where in between 12 to 18 months. Just observe him and give him time. Uptill now everything seems to be fine, just visit your Pediatrician after every six months till the age of 24 months, and get him vaccinated properly. Current weight is fine too as long as the baby is active.
